Save Finn: Lucía can't afford the emergency vet

A rescue greyhound named Finn needs orthopedic surgery - a $2,450 bill the family can't cover.

Finn is my rescue greyhound of two years. On 16 April we rushed to San Jose Veterinary Centre with a broken leg after a road accident. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $2,450. They have stabilized Finn, but the treatment can't wait beyond June. Finn is more than a pet - Finn is the reason I get out of bed. I have already put $120 toward the bills and asked for a payment plan. Whatever I can't raise, I'll repay to anyone who needs it back. Funds will be paid straight to San Jose Veterinary Centre and I'll share the invoice and an update on Finn's recovery. Where the $2,450 goes: • Emergency surgery: $1,300 • Hospitalization (4 nights): $670 • Medication and follow-up visits: $310 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $170 Thank you so much.

Updates from Lucía

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 22% funded and I made the first payment toward emergency surgery.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 10% funded and the plan for medication and follow-up visits is now scheduled.

    Sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
